Rav Wilding has been told by BBC bosses to take time out after his
public split from Chantelle Houghton.

The 33-year-old Crimewatch presenter was pictured arguing with the former Celebrity Big Brother winner in a south London park, and he has since been told to ‘go on holiday’ after a meeting with channel bosses.A source close to Rav told the Daily Mirror newspaper: ‘For many executives, Crimewatch is the BBC’s flagship serious show, so they weren’t thrilled with his choice of girlfriend.’Bosses were even less impressed when they started doing Mills & Boon-esque glossy magazine shoots, declaring their love – hardly in keeping with the Crimewatch ethos.’The bust-up escalated on Twitter, after their public argument in the park, when Rav ended the five-month relationship . Following the spat, he tweeted : ‘The relationship wasn’t what I wanted so badly and wasn’t the genuine thing I thought it was.’It’s so upsetting as I genuinely & truly loved Chantelle, but the publicity side isn’t always reflective of the truth.’A BBC source told the newspaper: ‘As far as we are concerned, it is a personal matter. Rav was spoken to as a matter of course but it was a case of pastoral care more than of him being hauled in.’
